The Street-Portraits Project

Exploring Social Concepts Through The Formal Portrait

A photography series by Gerardo Garciacano

“My photographs don't go below the surface. They're readings of the surface. I have great faith in surfaces. A good one is full of clues..”

The Street-Portraits Project documents passers-by in the street and what they chose to put on that day for themselves and for others to see them in.  This project invites the viewer to reflect on the assumptions they make when they observe people’s appearance. By combining portraits from a variety of places It also reflects on diversity within and across contemporary societies.
